life......

If you type this word into any search site, you can see explanations like the following.

The meaning of this word is: the survival of organisms, the ability of activity that organisms possess; or refers to the fundamental conditions through which things survive; or it represents destiny; living; animals, plants, or humans. Fundamentally, it almost refers to a form of protein existence.

This is how people define life, after all, we have only seen these forms of life.

Bugs, animals, people, plants, microorganisms, are almost all these things.

And what about the stone?

That is certainly not life.

Where is the air?

Of course not, water, sunlight, flame, these are not life. If an ignorant child asks why these things are not life, you probably can only tell him... because these things do not have protein or cells.

So, why do we have to have proteins or cells to be called life?

Most people can only use "this is taught in textbooks" to make excuses.

Oh, no, this is not an excuse, but a fact. Because humans have been defining this for thousands of years. If you tell another person that stones are also living bodies, then he must think you are crazy. If you say that life is actually just a state of being given and has nothing to do with its composition, then the other party will definitely bring out dozens of books and use various arguments in it to photograph you until you are convinced.

So, if you tell him that life is not a word, not a general term for exercise carbon genes, nor anything argued in the book, [life] is actually just a tall and thin ‘person’... OK, then you are not far from the mental hospital.

200 meters underground, containment area No. 44.

At this time, in a mountainous area hundreds of kilometers away, an old man was having a seemingly ridiculous conversation with the hunter of the Demon Fox No. 71.

And here, a more ridiculous conversation is about to begin.

In front of the underground platform, a vehicle that looked like a subway stopped slowly, and a fat middle-aged man with a haggard face walked down.

Looking back a long time ago, such underground trains could easily shuttle back and forth between various storage areas, but now, there are only a few left that can still operate, and each operation consumes a lot of electricity.

In this era, "electricity" is a very scarce resource.

The chubby middle-aged man took out a lollipop from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth. When people were thinking, their brains would consume a lot of sugar, so the fat man liked to eat candy. In his words, this body of fat was not his fault at all, but for the foundation and for all human beings! Of course, no one believed this.

Soon, a scientific researcher in a white coat came over.

"Everything is ready." The researcher said directly, not even a big greeting.

The foundation's scientific research department is this kind of virtue. They seem to have only experiments and science in their minds, and there is very little communication. Many people have even worked in the laboratory for several years, but they don't know what the name of their colleagues in the scientific research group next door is.

"Let's go." The middle-aged man didn't care about the other party's impoliteness. In fact, he liked this feeling very much. Scientific research is scientific research, and human nature is just useless behavior that delays the research and development of the project.

After walking through a long passage, the two of them came to a huge iron door. The scientific researcher took out a protective suit from a mezzanine outside the door and handed it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man waved his hand: "No, if it wants to kill me, this protective suit will be useless."

After saying that, he walked directly into the disinfection passage.

Soon, all the scanning and disinfection were finished, and the middle-aged man entered the interior of the door.

If you pass this door for the first time, you will definitely be shocked by the scene inside. Because the inside and outside of the door are completely different worlds.

At this moment, what was presented to the middle-aged man was a jungle. The dense vegetation almost filled the entire space, just like the mysterious areas that humans had never set foot in the deepest part of the ancient tropical rainforest. What is even more surprising is that all the vegetation here is a species that humans have never seen before, such as half-human curling purple weeds, flowers as big as manhole covers, colorful vines climbing on huge tree stumps, etc., colorful, but it makes people feel deeply uneasy.

The middle-aged man breathed a deep breath. Even though he had been prepared and had been here a few times, he still couldn't accept the environment here.

With courage, he began to walk inside the jungle. Some vines seemed to feel new objects entering this area. They began to move slowly to avoid this uninvited guest. On several occasions, the middle-aged man accidentally guessed some tree roots, and the tree roots instantly drilled into the soil, and even the trees next to him twisted uncomfortablely for a few times.

Well, you read that right. The tree twisted a few times. Most of the vegetation here has the ability to feel pain, perception, and action. In fact, if you carry a knife and cut some vines, you can even see the bright red flesh and blood inside at the break, just like the tentacles condensed by dead bodies.

Due to the complex path, it took a long time to walk the distance. Finally, an hour later, the middle-aged man finally came to a slightly empty place.

"Dos...Dos..." he shouted in circles.

Suddenly, a strange branch woven by flesh and blood and green branches suddenly fell from above his head, and magically posed in a "shush" position with his fingers stretched out, hovering in front of the middle-aged man's mouth.

Immediately afterwards, a voice came, signaling him to lower his voice. "Don't disturb the children, they're resting."

The sound was very light, but the sturdyness that was unique to men could still be heard. With the sound, a man with a tall figure also appeared... He walked out of the thick tree trunk in front of the middle-aged man.

emmm... This is a very difficult picture to describe, just like the tree is made of plasticine, and the man squeezed out of the plasticine, and along with it, he also brought out a large amount of sticky blood in the trunk.

"Uh, why do you feel so disgusting every time you appear?" the middle-aged man muttered.

"Disgusting? Haha, you humans call things that you know outside of what you know or don't look like."

"We humans are happy." The chubby middle-aged man muttered with a little dissatisfaction: "When it comes to serious business, Lu Yuan has come back, where is his sister?"

"Here." said the tall man, waved his hand gently.
